LeBron James excited to be on Durant’s side

LeBron James and Kevin Durant never have been teammates other than playing in exhibitions, but that will change this summer when they are selected for this summer’s London Olympic team.

James said he has thought what it would be like to play with Durant, who was the runner-up to James for this year’s MVP award.

“I envision it’s going to be pretty dynamic,” he said. “We’re two guys who like to get out and get into the open floor and we’re two of the biggest competitors that we have in the game today so it’s going to be fun.”

Six of the 18 players invited to try out for the team are in the Finals, including James, Durant, Miami’s Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook and James Harden. The Heat and Thunder are the only two teams with three players each invited.
